I know that politicians will philander. It’s rampant right now, has existed through history, and is almost a staple of the world. It normally doesn’t bother me. I feel bad for the wives obviously, but other than that, it’s almost politics as usual. However the John Edwards thing bothers me.

Maybe it’s the fact that he was the family man, he was all about family values. Then again politicians lie so that shouldn’t shock me. And yes he seemed down to Earth, a people’s person, and was very good looking but those just make it more likely that he would be someone who could sleep with more than one women.

 I do believe, then, that my problem is he just seemed to love his wife so much. He stood by her with cancer, not once but twice. The pictures, the vows to always love her, it all just seemed so genuine. He was- it seemed- one of the few truly good guys in this world. The kind of guy a girl could dream about, almost like a really prince charming. I suppose hearing about his affair is like finding out Santa isn’t real again.
